Mark 5:25-27 ". . . a certain woman . . . suffered . . . of many physicians, and had spent all . . . was nothing bettered. . . ."
LAWYERS (Nothing good is ever said of them! The bible records only one apparently saved lawyer, Zenas, in Titus 3:13.)
Matthew 22:33-36 "Then one of [the Pharisees] which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him. . . ." (Standard!)

Luke 23:4 "Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man."
John 19:4 "Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him."
v. 6 "When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him."

[The typical modern American "pastor" looks eagerly for state licensing of ministers ("freedom of religion" is a dead issue) so that his "credentials" might be further validated, and that he might further separate himself from those who are ordained of God in truth and Spirit. Accordingly, those ministers who refuse a state license will be incarcerated and killed; and the "Christian ministers" who "have no king but Caesar" will be glad to see them go. (See histories of Mexico, Russia, China, Spain, Italy, and Germany for reference.)]
